PETA investigators from its Asia division found cruelty to monkeys at farms and facilities used by Theppadungporn Coconut Co., according to the animal rights group."When not being forced to pick coconuts or perform in circus-style shows for tourists, the animals were kept tethered, chained to old tires, or confined to cages barely larger than their bodies," a PETA news release stated.
PETA is calling on all major grocers to stop selling Chaokoh milk products and promise to work with humane suppliers for their products. "No kind shopper wants monkeys to be chained up and treated like coconut-picking machines," said PETA President Ingrid Newkirk in a statement."Costco made the right call to reject animal exploitation."Costco representatives said they could not officially comment on the matter to CNN.
I hope one day monkeys have the CHOICE to work in coconut milk factories.
The fuck. What is this monkey business? 🐒
So just an accusation is enough to get your product dropped? Maybe we accuse costco of something ans see where this goes
Sounds like the way we treat carriage horses in every major city
This monkey business also scuttled Gary Hart’s presidential ambitions.
Who cares. They’re animals, not humans.
The people at Chaokoh have clearly never seen Planet of the Apes.
What?
Yes, some of PETA activist leader is doing monkey business
That eat the monkeys too
So we are months away from the resistance, and we are at the end of Battle, and leading right into the original Planet of the Apes. Heston already dead , probably flying the spaceship right now? How scary is this?

You misspelled Petty.
This sounds like the bad end of a joke.
Use Monkey for industrial Are you serious All I ever see monkey pick up the coconut is just show to the tourists. If want to make any changes, Please start with abandon of the show then the monkey will natural to be.
When Walmart and Costco negotiate with Peta that's when it's time to Boycott those grocers. Any grocer that bows to ARAs will be boycotted and any vegan stealing our meat will be taken care of.
'It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times'
These poor monkeys have now turned to a life of prostitution. Thanks Peta.

FORCED MONKEY LABOR DISPUTE... cnnbrk, DHS_Wolf CBPMarkMorgan ignore factual information that DFOBuffalo agents mistreat and humiliate Canadian traveller, falsify reports, used force without cause - REFUSE TO REPORT?
What
DeanAntonioNYU I have never heard of “forced monkey labor”. It’s usually just called animal cruelty or some such. However, CNN is really making it out to seem like Planet of the Apes is right around the corner. 2020 man...2020🙈
What in the high holy hell.... this is a joke tweet, right?
So Peta makes an allegation and Costo jump. Tucker provides a ton of proof on Joe and only patriots jump? Fuck Peta and fuck Costco.
But where am I supposed to get coconut milk with that monkey musk flavor now?
You are all broken
What the hell does this mean
BOYCOTT ALL CNN ADVERTISERS
monkey labor ?... Trump Campaign ?
Monkey labor bad! Children labor good. KeepSellingNikeProduct
So are the chickens free to leave at the company they get their eggs from?
2020 is wild, man monkeylabour
2020 headline of the year.
Umm...you have animals used for labor work on farms all the time but ppl don't seem to be as vocal about that as they are being rn with the monkeys. So I'm guessing the line that's being crossed is that the monkeys are having their teeth pulled, chained to tires, etc.🤔
Costco should really not rely on PETA information.
WTF?!!!!. What is monkey labor? Ohhhhh lord!
Welcome in 'Trumps world': USA 320 million people with over 225.000 corona deaths. Germany 83 million people with over 10.000 corona deaths. Thanks God, that this man isn't chancellor in Germany!!! Believe in God, but don't trust Trump!!!
I thought maybe because it's not milk...
Stupid peta hahaha
Excuse me?
The monks wanted to unionize.
Did I read that correctly? Monkey labor?
That is a joke right?
dc_homer
I want to stop purchasing from BoycottCostco and start eating monkeys.
I guess Bernie Sanders is trying for $15 an hour minimum wage there too...
Well they’re monkeys, don’t think there is a such thing as voluntary monkey labor.
Huh
Lol what?
Costco and Peta please ban eggs too! OMG millions and millions of hens (250 million in the US) are locked up in tiny battery cages with the lights on 24/7 to have them produce more eggs until they die. it's so cruel! please!
Seriously. This is news?
Wait, what?
This story is bananas
Forced monkey labor? How’s this different from the circus?
WTF?!
When do the Nike factories that use child labor get shut down?
Where tf is that meteor at
En güzelini yapmış tebrik ediyorum 👏👏👏
I’m so tired
So forced human labor from China is ok, but forced monkey labor is a no-no?
